Snowman Giveaway

I want to get in on some of the fun this month!  The shopping site shouldn’t be having it all, with its many promotions and giveaways.

You know I have a real weakness for snowmen…I have six of these cuties to give away.  Click the picture to be taken to the sweepstakes entry site.

I’ll pick the winners next Friday, October 16th, and will announce the names here.  As with our other contests, you may enter once each day and increase your chances of winning.

Let’s have a warm Christmas!

Two for Tuesday

I found myself in the area of the new Nostalgic Christmas tree this afternoon, and so many things caught my eye but I’ve selected these two.  It’s amazing how many different elements can work together on a tree to create a cohesive theme.

Look at the intense blue of these glass balls ~ and the gorgeous antlers on the pair of platinum reindeer.  This ball would stand out on any color of Christmas tree.

Blue Glass Reindeer Ornament

On the same tree hang a couple of styles of this cute ornament.  Did you ever make cardboard shapes and cover them in glitter and hang them on the tree when you were a kid?  Well neither did I, but if I had, I would have wanted to make them like this!  Of course, snowmen are my favorite, but this also comes in a Santa version.

Snowman Cottage

Just across the aisle, I couldn’t resist this adorable snow family figurine ~ look at those beatific smiles!  There is a collection of these figurines, highlighted in beautiful pastel tints.  They look like wood, and the “carved” details are marvelous.

Victorian Snowmen Family

My Christmas wish list is getting longer!

Two for Tuesday

I found a most clever glass ornament in the store yesterday.  At first glance, it was a darling penguin that caught the camera’s eye, looking very cute and shiny and bright.

It wasn’t until I moved it to capture a better angle that I discovered, hiding on the other side, this equally darling snowman about to hurl a snowball at me!

Does this count as two???

Well, if not, how about a Firefighter figurine?  We offer lots of ornaments and figurines representing many professions in the store, but, as always, it’s a snowman that caught my eye.

Hey, it’s almost Friday!

almost Wednesday…

I thought I’d better be thinking forward today!  Easter may have slipped by already, but spring is just beginning – especially considering that there were plenty of  white flakes here in the valley again today, though nothing that stuck.  

Here at the store, we’ve almost finished recarpeting the sales floors, and the displays and bins are filling up with sparkly new things – though not everything sparkles.  There are some delightful folk art items in the store, too.  The Jim Shore collection showcases his style, incorporating intricate quilt-like patterns in warm country colors into a collection of pieces that reflect his down-to-earth personality.

Elaborate Santas carved with ornamental embellishments, woodland creatures, elves, reindeer, snowmen, and angels are among the inhabitants that populate Jim’s vision of Christmas, along with a whimsical cat and dog or two.  In addition to figurines, we carry ornaments, candle warmers, plates, crosses, snow globes, and even a couple of flags.  Mickey and friends appear in Jim’s collection as well.

New this year, we’re adding a collection of whimsical dogs in intricately carved patterns, including a Scottie, Chihuahua, Poodle, and the beloved Lab.  If country is your Christmas style, we have plenty to suit your taste!
